The Universal Device Detection library, that parses User Agents and detects devices (desktop, tablet, mobile, tv, cars, console, etc.), and detects clients (browsers, feed readers, media players, PIMs, ...), operating systems, devices, brands and models.
Using DeviceDetector with composer is quite easy. Just add piwik/device-detector to your projects requirements. And use some code like this one:
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
use DeviceDetector\DeviceDetector;
use DeviceDetector\Parser\Device\DeviceParserAbstract;
// OPTIONAL: Set version truncation to none, so full versions will be returned
// By default only minor versions will be returned (e.g. X.Y)
// for other options see VERSION_TRUNCATION_* constants in DeviceParserAbstract class
DeviceParserAbstract::setVersionTruncation(DeviceParserAbstract::VERSION_TRUNCATION_NONE);
$dd = new DeviceDetector($userAgent);
// OPTIONAL: Set caching method
// By default static cache is used, which works best within one php process (memory array caching)
// To cache across requests use caching in files or memcache
$dd->setCache(new Doctrine\Common\Cache\PhpFileCache('./tmp/'));
// OPTIONAL: If called, getBot() will only return true if a bot was detected (speeds up detection a bit)
$dd->discardBotInformation();
$dd->parse();
if ($dd->isBot()) {
// handle bots,spiders,crawlers,...
$botInfo = $dd->getBot();
} else {
$clientInfo = $dd->getClient(); // holds information about browser, feed reader, media player, ...
$osInfo = $dd->getOs();
$device = $dd->getDevice();
$brand = $dd->getBrand();
$model = $dd->getModel();
}❗ Caching of DeviceDetector was completely redesigned in 3.0. You may need to reimplement it when updating from below.
In order to get results faster across requests, we recommend to use the additional caching possibility.
Currently DeviceDetector is able to use doctrine/cache. You can simply require it in your composer.json and use it like in the example before.
For those who like to implement their own Caching there is a second possibility. Besides doctrine caches the setCache method also accepts classes implementing the DeviceDetector\Cache\Cache interface. That way you can do whatever you want without requiring doctrine/cache.
This is a free/libre library under license LGPL v3 or later.
Your pull requests and/or feedback is very welcome!
Sometimes it may be useful to generate the list of most used user agents on your website, extracting this list from your access logs using the following command:
zcat ~/path/to/access/logs* | awk -F'"' '{print $6}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -n20000 > /home/piwik/top-user-agents.txt
Created by the Piwik team, Stefan Giehl, Matthieu Aubry, Michał Gaździk, Tomasz Majczak, Grzegorz Kaszuba, Piotr Banaszczyk and contributors.
Together we can build the best Device Detection library.
We are looking forward to your contributions and pull requests!
